Chapter 736: Chapter 94: Old Deng, show me the way. Asking for monthly tickets! _1

Facing Master Wen Yuan, Chu Liang could temporarily put not his guard. Having spent a long time together, he now held considerable trust towards this current Sect Leader of Shu Mountain, in some ways, Master Wen Yuan filled in part of the void left by Chu Liang’s former master.

At the very least, this Sect Leader genuinely has Shu Mountain at heart.

Of course, Chu Liang did not inform him about the fact that he harbored the White Pagoda; mainly because he himself still didn’t understand why the White Pagoda had fused with his being, nor did he know how to separate the White Pagoda from his Godly Soul. Regardless, he tried a long while ago to conjure the real entity of the White Pagoda, but to no avail.

If this matter was revealed and upon hearing about it, Master Wen Yuan, for the sake of the Demon Suppression Tower, Shu Mountain and the Righteous Path, might shed tears as he beheaded Chu Liang, where then could he find justice?

It’s not to say that Wen Yuan is not a good person, but typically when one reaches the position of Nine Heavens Sect Master, one’s personal desires greatly diminish. Instead, they tend to be driven more by their ideals and ambitions. If it were possible to recover the Demon Suppression Tower, let alone sacrificing Chu Liang, Wen Yuan probably wouldn’t hesitate to sacrifice himself.

"I once unexpectedly came across an Exotic Beast, the Heaven Devouring Beast. The Demon King was after me for it...," Chu Liang explained, "Fortunately, the Heaven Devouring Beast is not on me anymore, hence they weren’t able to find it. However, I am the only one who knows the Beast’s location."

Later, he spoke about how the Demonic Clan sought the Heaven Devouring Beast as a vessel for the source of the Demon God. After hearing this, Master Wen Yuan contemplated for a long while.

"The chaos in the Mortal Realm is getting worse. We need someone at the Tongxuan stage to appear in the world and quell the disturbances to restore peace," he began slowly, before changing his tone, "But the only one who has reached the Ninth Realm mustn’t be an Evil Demon. Otherwise, the nightmare of 3000 years ago will happen again, and this time Shu Mountain won’t have the Demon Suppression Tower to save the day."

"The Heaven Devouring Beast must be eradicated." Master Wen Yuan’s voice was stern and solemn.

Chu Liang bowed dutifully, offering no rebuttal.

He indeed felt attached to Little Tuntun and the thought of killing it stirred reluctance within him. However, as long as it existed, the Demon God posed a threat of resurgence. If the Demonic Clan managed to obtain it, he would never be able to atone for his crime.

He paused, then added, "After that, Cai Yi told me something else..."

He then revealed how Baize had helped the Demon God escape. Master Wen Yuan was obviously unaware of this. Even though he had the composure of a vast ocean and towering mountains, his pupils flickered with traces of surprise.

Maintaining a long silence, he finally said, "Baize, as the Zhenshan Guardian Divine Beast that has protected Shu Mountain for thousands of years, should not harm Shu Mountain. I will find a way to verify this. The task of exterminating the Heaven Devouring Beast can be put aside for now. Don’t leave the sect these days. With Baize, Daoist Yan and me here, and the Purple Green Double Swords protecting your body, nobody can harm you on Shu Mountain."

What a comforting sense of security.

Chu Liang felt a sigh of relief in his heart and nodded, "I will cultivate peacefully in the mountain."

"Your Cultivation leaped to Wen Dao overnight, you really need to take some time to settle. Staying on the mountain for a while would be beneficial," Master Wen Yuan continued, "Upon reaching the Seventh Realm, you’ve just started rather than reached the end. Your cultivation so far has been under the protection of elders. From this moment on, you will see the true path of cultivation."

His voice was filled with great seriousness, "It’s very cruel..."

Chu Liang was prepared for this. Before reaching the Seventh Realm, all his training and adventuring in the Secret Realm had been carefully selected by the elders. Even though there were casualties, they can be said to have grown up in a greenhouse.

After reaching the Wen Dao realm, you transition from being protected to being the protector, holding up the sky for the sect.

Over the years, the number of fallen cultivators at the Wen Dao realm from Shu Mountain is surely much more than one might imagine. Important treasures like the Six Demon Extermination Treasures are not likely to be lost by ordinary disciples.

As their conversation came to an end, and as Chu Liang left the Unbounded Palace, he heard an uproar.

...

"Chu Liang, just in time," Pill Furnace Elder, who had felt rather helpless, caught hold of Chu Liang. "Quickly go manage your master. She’s been going around Shu Mountain for quite a few turns, claiming she lost her way..."

"What?" Chu Liang was taken aback and immediately rose into the air to see what had happened.

Not far away in the mid-air, a giant headless purple python was floating around. Only upon getting closer did he see that it was Empress Feng carrying the dead python’s body, leisurely sauntering in the sky.

The corpse of the python was full of spirituality, clearly not an ordinary creature even in death, yet to see his master parading it around was somewhat inexplicable.

"Master, what are you doing?" Chu Liang asked as he caught up.

"Ah, how did you know, my disciple, that your Master risked her life to slay a Great Demon King of the Eighth Realm in order to save you?" Empress Feng turned around and directly questioned.

"..." Chu Liang was rendered speechless.

No wonder no one dared to interfere after she had been causing a commotion for so long.

Well then.

Who would dare to speak up after hearing that?

That must be the infamous Great Lake Demon King I’ve heard about. Apparently, he took a severe hit while trying to save me from Daoist Cang Sheng.

I believe that blow was the main reason for his death. Otherwise, no matter how domineering my Master, it would be a real challenge for her to challenge a cultivator from the Eighth Realm.

So, that old chap Cang Sheng really did use lethal force...

A shiver ran down Chu Liang’s spine at this realization. Looking at his Master in front of him, Chu Liang’s face was filled with gratitude. "Master, your risk-taking for the sake of the disciple’s safety is truly touching. However, we’ve been circling around for quite some time now. Shouldn’t we be heading home?"

"Yes, we should have gone home a long time ago." Empress Feng clapped her forehead, "I just couldn’t remember the way back to Silver Sword Peak. So forgetful of me. I really am hopeless with directions..."

"Let disciple lead you home. It’s just over there," Chu Liang pointed the way with a smile.

"Oh, so it’s that way." Empress Feng answered, and then flew in the exact opposite direction.

"Master, that’s the way to Jade Sword Peak," Chu Liang gently reminded.

"I’m just going to ask Wang Xuanling for directions," Empress Feng laughed heartily.

Looking at his Master’s retreating back, Chu Liang felt a sense of helplessness. If Wang Xuanling never answers the door, she’d probably continue circling until Changfeng turned into snake jerky.

At this thought, Chu Liang suddenly became curious.

The Heart-Charming Demon Spell can transform people into demons, unleashing their suppressed inner evil thoughts. Then...what would happen if his master was to succumb to this spell?

Unable to resist a sudden strong sense of curiosity, Chu Liang raised his hand and pointed, whoosh...

Upon releasing the Heart-Charming Demon Spell, Empress Feng’s body stiffened momentarily next, she turned her head back in confusion, "What was that?"

After looking around and detecting nothing unusual, she turned around and continued to fly forward, mumbling as she went, "Old Deng, come out and guide me!"

What?

Having followed his Master for some distance, Chu Liang noticed nothing unusual.

Strange, even Henchman A and B, who are basically harmless, have evil thoughts. Doesn’t Master have any? Or could it be that the spell is ineffective because her cultivation level is higher than mine?

Wait a second...

Chu Liang suddenly understood. The spell might have worked, but the effect was not obvious...after all, the Heart-Charming Demon Spell’s effect is to transform people into demons. However, some people...

Are already demons to begin with.

Before he could finish his thought, there came a loud thud from the distance. Empress Feng, with the body of a giant python draped over her, landed atop Jade Sword Peak, accompanied by a loud shriek.

"Old Deng, if you don’t show up to guide me, then you’ll have to come out to put out a fire! What? Where’s the fire? Your house, of course! Cackle cackle——"
